Support for hiding Windows dictation overlay (Win + H)

Open nit0b opened this issue 4 months ago • 1 comments

Hi! First of all, thank you for building such a useful tool.

I’ve noticed that the Windows dictation overlay (triggered by pressing Win + H) is not currently hidden by Invisiwind. It seems that the process or window class used by the dictation tool isn’t recognized or listed among the windows that Invisiwind can hide.

Would it be possible to add support for hiding this overlay, similar to how other apps are handled?

Thanks again for your great work!

I took a look at this but it doesn't seem to be straightforward. Even after showing windows filtered by the DWMWA_CLOAKED attribute (which is why it doesn't show up on list), attempting to inject and set display affinity does not work. Research will need to be done here.

Some additional information: it looks like the dictation window is owned by explorer.exe (see screenshot below).
